Welcome 

My name is Zane Winders
I am an honors student studying cybersecurity at Purdue University Northwest.



My journey to cybersecurity has been anything but conventional. I began as a professional ballet dancer and teacher, through which I developed discipline, precision, and collaboration—qualities that now shape my approach to technology. Returning to the classroom, I found that the focus and adaptability honored in the arts are just as essential in defending digital assets. At Purdue University Northwest, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity and Minor in Organizational Leadership as an honors student. I am driven by a passion for problem-solving and a commitment to protecting information in an increasingly connected world.
